I need to play this

I forgot to mention that it's truly something special. It feels good to play and keeps throwing curveballs. My 1P runs don't get too far (skill issue). My biggest point of advice is for players new to classic Atari like the 7800 to realize how easy it is to accidentally reset the game.

Now this looks fantastic. I need this.

Me seeing "Super Fighter Team" and opening up 10 new tabs to investigate because Super Fighter was a memorably bad game. (They are listed as the publisher of Zaku on the Penguinet site)

I should have known this was by the Zaku dev! Best game on the system, hands down

Wow!

It also has a more Japanese feel than most Atari 7800 games, even though it wasn't designed in Japan. You get big Capcom and Namco vibes when you play it, and that design ethos is kind of refreshing on this format.

It's a very modular system design, as I recall. Need more RAM? Add it to the cart. Need a better sound chip? Add it to the cart. I don't know if the same thing can be done with the 5200, but it seems like that could open the door to all the recent XL/XE homebrews, like Street Fighter II.

I'm imagining a time traveller going back to 1986 and wowing gamers with the amazing technology of 2018.

I always heard Atari fans say the 7800 could do as impressive games as the NES if used properly but I’d never quite believed it since none of the official games lived up to the promise. This one made me a believer. It’s stunning!

I'm still super bummed that I missed out on getting the physical release, but it's a staple on the GD7800 & absolutely stunning in RGB

What the actual fuck. This is NES quality stuff how????

I was real lucky to snag one of these carts years ago. The game is just incredible.
